He wouldnt nave won had Mercedes not cocked up the strategy.  Safety car helped him and Hamilton not having a fresh set of softs at the end cost him the race.

Ah yes, it's Mercedes fault now...

Always the same with whiny Hamilton, all him when he wins, teams fault when he loses. Funny watching him throw his toys out of the pram with a few laps left.

I always wonder in my head how the podium ceremony would go if someone was allergic to alcohol or was straight-edge.

Well it clearly was the teams fault lol.... The strategy and lackmof soft tyres at end cost him.  Thankfully all will be forgotten about when he lifts that world title for the 3rd time at the end of the season again.

I'm just winding you up  ;D

Not even Hamilton could screw this season up when he has a car that's on average 1.5 seconds faster than the competition. Anyway, really happy for Vettel and Ferrari.

"I shouldn't say it, but I don't know," Vettel said. "I was shitting myself in the last few laps because here and there the thought was coming into my head, I was looking at the top of the chassis, and thinking 'this is a red car, you're about to win!'. And then I thought 'stop thinking about it otherwise you'll miss the next apex or something'. Real relief to cross the line in the end!"

Congrats to Vettel will catch the highlights later. Its really been 2 years for Ferrari.  And Kimi for getting 4th.

Hopefully Ferrari continue to challenge and not fall away by midseason.

Missed the race but fantastic drive from Vettel clearly to get a win against a Mercedes that is so much faster than the rest of the pack. Well done to the Ferraris. Has Hamilton whined about something yet ?
Quote from: Dion Fanning

The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.

They've got the same engine as Toro Rosso, finishing behind them shows its not just the engine as you say.

Delighted for Vettel. Couldn't stand Ferrari in the past, mainly because of the dickhead drivers they've employed (Schumacher, Alonso) but I get the feeling I could like them a little bit more if Vettel keeps performing like this.

As usual he had a go at his team for fucking up the strategy a few laps from the end. He's a real team player.

Fun race. I had a good laugh at Vettel's "blue flags" song. ;D

I've only just recently realised how awkward Rosberg is in interviews. Like he'll try raise his volume to "gee" up the crowd but he's just so awkward doing so.
